Hulu has probably the best advertising model for web video content ever devised. And now that Disney has agreed to place their content on Hulu, I think the fight for premium content may be over and done with. Sorry Google, you lose this one.
Try http://www.hulu.com/ and come back and let us know what you think of this revenue model over anything that Google has tried so far.
We're sorry, currently our video library can only be streamed within the United States...blah...blah...blah.
Q: Would you pay for YouTube content?A: No.
YouTube content is rarely worth paying any amount of money for, even $.05. Guess what, Google - there are countless other free video sharing sites out there (Metacafe, DailyMotion, Veoh, etc) that would love for you to start charging users extra money to watch content. Just think of how many users you'll send their way by doing that. They'll pick up the free, sharing community you're looking to alienate.
but if even google can't afford to run youtube, how will the other free sites stay online?
right. if youtube ceases to be free, everyone i know here will simply stop posting and viewing videos online. those who watch now are already spending a lot (for indians) on internet and for their computer. but maybe that's a good thing. because i can't expect google to give me a free lunch. if i could get it for this long, i should be thankful and earn more.
all that's nice and fine but someone has to pay for all that processing power and bandwidth. and google can't keep losing millions on a project just because youtube stands for us. what will happen is that google will charge a fee per view but nobody will pay. and youtube will die. we will use something like vuze to share videos or say our thing.
MOD UP. 70MW is mush LESS than submarines than the Russians have been using for years. For example, the Russian Typhoon class submarine has DUAL 90MW reactors in it. This is nothing new for Russia at all.
so what do apple get from you for this behavior? yes, you continue to develop for the iphone and provide value to their product and their store. so why would apple or any other company not do the same thing they did?
Can someone tell me again why I should by an iPhone? Can someone tell me why Apple has not been taken to court? Can someone explain to me the hype on why Apple is so much better than MS?
yeah you're dead on about sony. i mean on any sony ericsson phone, while listening a song, you can click options and send. its that easy. you can use bluetooth, email, ir. and the cds sony sells we know how fucked up they are with anti copying mechanisms.
can you tell me one place where ms rejected apps developed for winmo or windows? right, you can't, because ms never tried to control the market as tightly as apple want to.

Aren't the stats based on web site traffic tho?... iPhone has a pretty good browser that can browse most sites quite adequately, other phones have stripped down browsers that really only work with specially designed sites. Blackberry etc may be heavily used for email, but i doubt they are really the tool of choice for people wanting to web browse on the move.
no, you might want to check out nokia's n and e series browser (webkit based symbian apps). it has been quite good for many years now.
I'm not exactly sure what your point is, but keep in mind that millions of people also use Windows servers. While Netcraft confirms that Apache is the most popular server (which is not to say that all Apache servers are running Linux), it does report that there are over 67 million Microsoft-based servers out there.
but i thought the only thing netcraft ever confirmed was that bsd is dying?
Oh yeah? My mom's girlfriend's brother's doctor had this friend who knew a guy that had a sister-in-law, in another town, that once used Linux that was given to her by the Rabbi of an ultra-orthodox Mormon sect in Bolivia who knew a guy that had a sister that dated Ferris Bueller before he got sick and passed out at 31 Flavors.
hey $ucker, who are you calling immature? i'm more maturer than you! M$ is very significant symbolically. it means they want only money, like all of us...oh wait.

i think that before youtube goes broke every other video site will.
rickrolls would go away ENTIRELY!

hey oldies! not everyone is your age on /.

what will happen is that google will charge a fee per view but nobody will pay. and youtube will die. we will use something like vuze to share videos or say our thing.
and that's where the sharks come in, i suppose?
yes, and what's more it runs crysis too on 70fps.
because the whole image is in svg?

PC gaming is in decline
NPD Data Retail sales in the PC game software industry showed signs of growth, with revenues up one percent, exceeding $970 million in 2006
That doesn't include digital download sales: There's twenty million people on Steam now [Feb 2009]. That's 100% year on year growth since 2004.
And none of these numbers include the countless indie developers. I know it's trendy to bash PC gaming but it's not going anywhere any time soon.
crysis ftw!
only on pc
can you tell me one place where ms rejected apps developed for winmo or windows?
right, you can't, because ms never tried to control the market as tightly as apple want to.
monopoly!

gee! what a coincidence, isn't it?
no, it does not make itself default if you uncheck the box during install. just like firefox.

There's no need to get your children hooked on Windows before they're in the first grade.
yes there is: video games.
